Lights flicker around me in the night wherever I go, crows follow me in the day. I might assume that going crazy is the safest option but I am not, pattern may be it all either way the lights fascinate me and the crows intrigue me.
Funny thing when I first noticed these minimal alterations I paid much attention coming up with a character not the protagonist but an ever appearing figure just passing by story after story with a purpose not yet known to me. Thinking what would he do if I was there in one of these stories and approached him. Will he kill me or talk to me? Maybe just sit around animating himself as an ever-forgotten object from some noir I don't even wanna go to yet.
We did have an exchange of words once, I don't remember what I said but can't never forget the reply.
“One day a crow started following me I was clueless never saved him never fed him and now look there is an alley full of them.”
He said sitting under a dim door light(not flickering), I could not make out whether he was smiling a creepy smile or just a serious expression. The shadow from his hair covered most of his face but the lips were somewhat visible, not apparent enough to make out if he was smiling or not. The he asked me something “You see them too don't you? Why did you create me?”
I want to know why he keeps appearing in my stories not as an important character most of all he appears as nothing just a backdrop. The unsettling part is that he is there always and I don't know what to do with him. Its like an ever-present entity in my stories luring in alleyways, lakes, derelict places in the background just existing. Maybe one day I might make him my antagonist.
